0078265317 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) I remember reading long time ago here but forget. Which games will start without keypad. Are there any that will start by just pressing the fire button. I am testing a broken wico so I need to know.

GameGirl420 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Mr.Do's Castle you can start by pressing the fire buttons. I think most Parker Brothers games for the 5200 are like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Only parker brothers I have are frogger and qbert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namedjughead Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I can confirm that Star Wars Arcade, also a Parker Brothers title, will start by just pressing the fire button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Thanks for the reply. Do's castle is exensive. Cheapest starwars is 13 + 4 shipping on amazon. Don't know if that is fair. Frogger or qbert anyone know if those start with fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0078265317 Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Sound good. I will buy buck rogers. Sounds fun. But its 9 dollars on ebay. Not bad but there is also a CIB for 14 very good shape box. Is it worth the 5 dollars extra for collectors sake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bohoki Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 if you send the adapter i'll put a start button on it i have extras they dont cost nothin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 I am out of town now. So I will try the buck rogers first. But is the CIB worth 5 dollars extra. There is even a 24 dollar CIB. Or plain loose cart is good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 So what should I get. The CIB or the loose cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ave1 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I have mostly loose 5200 carts in my collection and have no regrets... but you could be different when it comes to that. Just spend the extra money and get the box if you are somewhat bothered by having loose carts in your collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Its more for collectors sake. If buck rogers is common then its not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namedjughead Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the reply. Do's castle is exensive. Cheapest starwars is 13 + 4 shipping on amazon. Don't know if that is fair. Frogger or qbert anyone know if those start with fire. I picked up my copy of Star Wars on eBay last week for 6.50 + 3.50 shipping. There are still good prices to be found if you're willing to dig. Edited September 29, 2015 by namedjughead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Yes I know. But I already found buck rogers. Its just a matter of paying 5 bucks extra for a cib or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Well the CIB disappeared on ebay. So easy decission now. Anyhow found a loose buck rogers on amazon for 7 dollars and 91 cents with free shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Or is there any way to tell before buying just by looking if all pins are wired like in this or not? http://www.ebay.com/itm/PC-joystick-splitter-cable-15-way-for-analogue-port-y-splitter-2-way-sharing-/391167232671?hash=item5b13624a9f Or in this adapter? http://www.l-com.com/d-sub-db15-y-splitter-adapter-db15m-db15f-db15f# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bohoki Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 the pc y adapter takes 2 joysticks and puts them on one port see the top row is joystick one the bottom is joystick 2 so the one end of the y passes through the top row and the other connnects the top row to the bottom the pc standard is 4 axis and 4 buttons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 But my radioshack y cable never worked with my atari 5200. And my generic 6 foot from ebay works. So not all plins are wired in some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Just found this old thread. This page 4:20pm post picture. So db9 to 15 is not impossible. Now we just need to solder another 15 pin on it. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/171339-digital-joysticks-provide-better-control-than-analog-joysticks/page-15 Edited October 13, 2015 by 0078265317 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
